Delicious pastries filled with a creamy strawberry and cream cheese mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to smooth out creases. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
- Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with a few slices of fresh strawberries.
- Fold the corners of each pastry square toward the center, pinching to seal. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
- You can substitute the strawberries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different twist.
